Chicago Bears star cornerback Charles Tillman might miss Sunday night's game against the Texans because of the pending birth of his daughter.

Tillman told Chicago radio station WSCR-AM that he might not be available because his wife, Jackie, is due to give birth to a girl — the couple's fourth child. Their daughter, Tiana, needed a heart transplant a few months after she was born in 2008.

“The wife is due any day, so hopefully this baby can stay in until after the game on Sunday,” Tillman said on the radio. “I hope she stays in — I'm having another girl. Monday, for sure, but if she comes Sunday, I think I'm going to have to be at the hospital Sunday. So, I hope she stays in until after Sunday.”

Tillman forced four fumbles in last Sunday's 51-20 Bears victory at Tennessee.

“To me, this game is important to me, but after what we went through with my middle child Tiana, to me football is second,” Tillman added. “It'll always be second or third in my life. That was a great lesson learned, to teach me that family — when I'm done playing football, my family will always be there for me.”
